Fuzzy logic and its application to the control of an inverted pendulum

Fuzzy logic and its application to the control of an inverted pendulum

Author

Bergeron, David A.

Abstract/Introduction

Although fuzzy logic was first introduced almost 30 years ago, only in the last few years has it gained the recognition it has long deserved. There are quite a few reasons, which will be discussed later, why fuzzy logic has gotten the "cold shoulder" from the engineering profession. Nevertheless, fuzzy logic has proven to be very powerful in mimicking the vague reasoning of the human mind. Artificial intelligence experts have long sought algorithms to realize this goal, but traditional artificial intelligence systems rely on binary logic. But, humans don't normally think in terms of binary logic. Humans have the ability to detect the grey area between total truthness and total falseness, distinguishing between shades of meaning. In other words, humans tend to use fuzzy logic.
